Chapter 7
Baron and Sophie started to walk back towards their table when a strange scent caught the half cat's attention. But after lightly sniffing the air for a few seconds the orange and cream half cat thought, "Hmm, I wonder why he came here. Well, for what ever reason it may be I certainly hope he didn't come here to try and harm Sophie." He then put an arm protectively around the young woman's waist as he added, "Because if he has then I will make certain that he lives to regret that decision."
"Baron, is everything alright? You're holding me awfully tight." Sophie said, which caused the half cat to come out of his thoughts.
Once back to reality Baron looked down and saw that his wife had a look of concern on her face as he replied, "Everything is fine. I apologize for worrying you, dear."
He slightly lightened his grip on the brown eyed young woman as the two then continued to head back towards their table.
ooooooo
Yuki continued to dance with the masked half cat as she still could not figure who the stranger was as she thought, "Hmm, I'm not for sure why, but for some reason this seems awfully familiar to me..." She then mentally gasped as she added, "Now I remember this is just like what Baron did when he tried to save Haru when he pretended to be a part of the entertainment. But if this is who I think it is then why would he go to the trouble of doing this?"
The white haired young woman was brought out of her thoughts when the half cat asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Well, to be honest I'm just trying to figure out why you came here." Yuki responded with, as she was then twirled around a few times by the half cat.
Once that was done the black furred half cat answered back with, "I just wanted to see how you were doing." The blue eyed young woman then noticed that he was looking over at Muta, who was glaring at the two as he went on with, "And I also see that you have gotten some unwanted attention as well."
Yuki then found herself becoming even more confused as the half cat started to twirl her around again. But while he did this she heard him snap two of his fingers together. And when she looked back over to the table that she had been sitting at earlier she saw that Muta's face no longer had a glare on it, but a look of confusion as she saw him turn his head from one side to the other. And after the half cat had retook her hand into his she heard the large white furred half cat's voice as he asked, "Hey, am I seeing things or is that a cake over there?"
The white haired young woman was not surprised when she saw Toto seemingly jump out of his seat and give chase to the large half cat as he shouted, "Don't even think about touching that cake you idiot! Baron and Sophie haven't cut it yet!"
"Well, now that one of your problems is gone would you like me to get rid of the other one for you?" The half cat asked, as he finally looked down at her revealing his orange eyes.
Seeing this caused Yuki to gasped as she let out, "Lu-"
She was instantly stopped though when Lucifer gently pressed a finger to her lips as he said, "It would not be wise to say my name out loud in this room." The young woman then noticed that he had stopped dancing completely and was offering her an arm as he added, "Perhaps it would be better for the two of us to continue our little chat outside, yes?"
The blued eyed young woman nodded while she let out a sigh. She followed that up by linking her arm with his. The two then started to make their way outside so that they could continue their talk with one another. But while they did this the two were unknowingly be followed by two certain people.
ooooooo
Lucifer and Yuki continued to walk arm and arm with one another once they had gotten outside. After they had turned a corner though the orange eyed half cat stopped walking and removed the feathered hat that was on top of his head along with the mask that had been covering his face. Once that was done he removed his arm from hers and cupped the young woman's chin as he confessed, "Yuki, I must tell you something that I haven't told you before."
A light blush had now spread across Yuki's face as she asked, "Oh? And what might "that something" be?"
The half cat saw the chance to put his face so close to the young woman's that they were now only inches apart from one another as he whispered, "I love you."
Lucifer watched as the young woman's face turned to complete shock as she gasped and asked, "What?"
"I said, I love you." the half cat repeated, as he looked into her eyes. He then continued with, "In fact even when the two of us used to live in the Cat Kingdom I knew that I wanted to be with you." His expression then grow sour as he ended with, "I also knew that you were just too good for Lune."
Right after he had said this though the black furred half cat was more then a little surprised when Yuki took a few steps back away from him there fore removing his hand from her face as she replied, "If what you say is true. Then you wanting me to refuse Lune's marriage proposal...and turning me into a human were all just a part of your plan?"
"Yes, that's correct." The half cat answered, as he walked towards her again. And once he was in front of her again he took both of her hands into his as he went on with, "But don't you see now we can be together." But after sniffing the air for a bit he ended with, "Unless...you have already developed feelings for someone else."
Lucifer watched as a slightly darker blush spread across the young woman's as she let out, "I well, there is someone..."
But before the white haired young woman could go into any more details the orange eyed half cat noticed that she had tightly grabbed the front fabric of her dress. And she seemed to be in a great deal of pain as he said, "I see. So you have some feelings for a human male then?"
"W-What do you mean?" Yuki asked, as she looked up at him in confusion.
Hearing this caused a chuckle to escape the half cat's lips as he asked, "Well, it seems no one ever told you did they?"
"T-Tell me what?" The blue eyed young woman asked back, as she fell onto one knee from the pain.
Lucifer just took the opportunity to bend down onto one knee as he explained, "What I said is I'm surprised no one told you that along with being turned into a human, you also had two other spells that were used on you." A smirk then showed on his face as he added, "One of them was to where you be the center of affection for any half cat who's heart was not already taken by someone else. And the other was to where if you fell for a human male or vice versa then you would start to feel a terrible pain in your heart. And if not taken care of soon it would lead to your death."
